A new study claims solar flares may actually make the planets in Trappist-1's habitability zone even more habitable than first thought. Teams using the James Webb Space Telescope are planning to search those same planets for chemical traces of extraterrestrial life, called 'biosignatures,' in their atmospheres.
MIT researchers supported by the Army Research Office have developed an entirely new kind of memory material. And unlike other memory materials, which are made almost exclusively out of metal, this revolutionary new material is made from ceramic, offering numerous advantages over metals.
Certain types of video games are believed to cause children with undiagnosed heart conditions to pass out, and in some cases even die, according to new research.
Award-winning architect and futurist Vanessa Keith joins host Chrissy Newton to discuss the future of urban planning and skyscrapers while painting the picture of a potentially brighter future.
An innovative new passive cooling system could one day replace conventional cooling technologies, offering an alternative that requires only water to function.
Researchers at Purdue University say observations of the quantum entanglement of photons in a recent study could point to novel ways of measuring events of incredibly short duration.
Scientists could soon be closing in on making sustainable fusion energy a reality, thanks to an innovative new take on an existing technology that could help fusion reactions occur in a more confined space.
Researchers say a new law of physics could help predict the occurrence of genetic mutations, in a remarkable development in the research field known as infodynamics.
A new survey shows a significant difference between U.S. policies on drugs versus how psychiatrists view their safety, which could eventually lead to a push for new classifications in the years ahead.
Physicists with the Georgia Institute of Technology say they have demonstrated how the phenomenon of turbulence can be better understood with a bit of help from fluid dynamics.
Researchers are closing in on the mystery of the arrow of time, and how cells and particles could be the source for various phenomena that gives rise to the human concept of time.
Dr. Nir Lahav explains how a relativistic approach to the hard problem of consciousness may help us unravel some of the perplexing questions we have about the brain, and other mysteries of the mind.
A monstrous new variety of deep-sea isopod has been discovered deep below the waters of the southern Gulf of Mexico, according to new research published by an international team.
From guns to lightsabers, lasers have been powerful forces in the world of science fiction. But in reality, lasers have uses very different from the kinds of futuristic weaponry of fiction, assisting in medical procedures, a range of electronic devices,...
A recent discovery in the field of quantum physics by researchers at Purdue University has opened the doorway to a whole new way of looking at our physical reality.
